In fact the first mod I made was to remove the front air dam before I hit the trail.
I'm guessing that their aluminum that they use has a higher elastic deformation (will rebound) before it hit's the plastic deformation (permanent damage) than the steel that would normally be used for this. If it's thick aluminum, it probably could take a hell of a beating and come back for more. Plus it won't rust after you hit some rocks with it which is a huge plus!Well judging by how their JK looks I'd say they can take a beating! The companies started as an aircraft armor manufacturer. They needed the Helos to have armored floors but steel was too heavy, so they used aluminum. Then they used the same stuff for under their vehicles and found they worked great for skid plates (armor). The skids are supposed to be able to take a hit very well. They say the difference between steel is that steel will bend when hit hard enough, but this aluminum has some what of an elasticity to it. It will take the hit and bounce back. At least that is how I understood it was he was explaining everything. I will see if I can find a written explanation
I'm sure those stock brakes are PISSED about having to stop all the weight of those bigass tires you keep adding on to!Oh and I need to change out the brake fluid, I am sure I need new stuff in there by now
